South Korea's Major Online Bookstores

South Korea's Major Online Bookstores   2017.12.01   Online bookstores account for 30 percent of South Korea's total book distribution and sales. The largest bookstore companies of this kind include YES24, Aladin, Interpark and Kyobo Book Centre, which has a large offline base. They are the 'Big 4' and when including offline sales, Kyobo dominates, but when talking about just online book sales, YES24 is the current leader.     After ‘Amazon.com’ emerged in the United States in 1995, global online book sales surged sharply and in South Korea, the first online bookstore appeared in 1997. Shortly after in the early 2000s, several more online bookstores entered the foray that had no offline base or store. Their growth over the following decade was astonishing. In 2009, sales reached an aggregate 1 trillion won before peaking in 2011. Internet bookstores have since shown fluctuation in sales repeatedly and this is where some explanation is needed. ...

After its launch, the application has improved consistently, tailored to the needs of its users, and more poems have been added including new works. On April 23, the app marked its first anniversary and a new section called ‘Poem Diary’ was launched where users could upload works of poetry and writing on the app like they would in a diary.

Exports to Southeast Asia

Exports to Southeast Asia   2018.05.30       As publication business exchanges with China have declined exorbitantly over the past 18 months, South Korea's publishing industry has turned its eye towards Southeast Asia and exports to this region have been increasing as a result. Along with efforts to make up for the gap created by declining publishing trade with China, South Korean publishers seem to have come to the conclusion they must expand their territories to move in line with today's changes. Exchanges with those in the publishing industry in Southeast Asia began around 2005 and have been continued ever since. However, one thing that stands out between then and now is the fact that Korean publishers are now creating more diverse content in a number of areas and they are also making more aggressive moves to enter the market in Southeast Asia. On top of this, the 'traveling book fair' project that has been operated by KPIPA over the past several y...

K-Book in Berlin M&K's Monica Gu talks South Korean books   2019.09.09     It is rare for German publishers to release South Korean books.Considering this, the first exhibition for South Korean books in Germany, K-Book in Berlin embarked on a mission to spread the word about great South Korean books.     It's been three years since I came to Germany for personal reasons. As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own.
